Blade 130X U/C Skid set

thingiverse

Not being an experienced RC helicopter pilot I find it tips over easily when landing, particularly on grass. This skid set is a direct replacement for the original one and fits the original mounting method. It is longer, wider and higher than the original (see photo) and makes it much easier to land on grass and allows the helicopter to bounce better when landed poorly (often by me). The files need laying flat, I use Cura and they are printed at 0.2mm layer height with 100% fill. I used PLA and that is working really well. The legs fit easily onto the heli frame with original mounting screws. I found the legs needed tweaking slightly to fit in the slots in the skids and were glued in with solvent glue. The fronts of the skids were warmed with a heat gun and curved upwards slightly to stop them digging in on landing Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 100%
